If you can't imagine a world without snow and cold, take advantage of the transformative power of the arts.

Through the magic of theater, you can visit Cuba ("Becoming Cuba") or enter a magical forest ("A Misdsummer Night's Dream"). Museum exhibits can wrap you up in a blanket ("Quilts and Color: The Pilgrim Roy Collection," Museum of Fine Arts) or take you on a trip to the west coast ("California Design," Peabody Essex Museum). And the BSO will offer a different side of the orchestra with a film presentation of Bernstein's "West Side Story."
